And we were smaller town, 187 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 2: so in other cities you could go a month or 188 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: two without seeing your enemies where we from.

Like, there were lines. 207 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 2: I even knew this from selling my CDs. There were 208 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 2: lines in Mississippi, lines of demarcation where white kids didn't 209 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 2: go past. If your music wasn't in certain stores past 210 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 2: that line, they just wasn't going past that line. And 211 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: if you saw white people pass that line, then you 212 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 2: knew that they fucked with you. Okay, you know what 213 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 2: I'm saying. So in Mississippi, like I really didn't deal 214 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 2: with that racist shit that people were talking about. Motherfuckers. 215 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 2: I heard the white boys in North Mississippi up close. 216 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 2: You know, it was a little bit different. But where 217 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 2: we were from, like black folks ran that ship. We 218 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 2: ain't had no problems. We ain't had no problems with 219 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 2: white folks at all. You know what I'm saying, Well, 220 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 2: I didn't. I ain't never seen no clue close clan, 221 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 2: like in guard you know what I'm saying, Because Black 222 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 2: folks was about their ship. We had been through enough. 223 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: But see him in Walmart. We're not probably see them 224 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: all over. They were the closet. 225 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 2: And but what I will say, man, is that I 226 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 2: think what happened with Jackson Mississippi. You know, you had 227 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 2: the you had the the migration lines, you know, through 228 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: the Mississippi River and the trains. So we were so 229 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 2: deeply connected and so deeply rooted in Chicago. So like 230 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 2: you know, our parents who moved to Chicago, like me 231 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 2: and my mother, were different. Most people didn't notice. Like 232 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 2: my mother was born in Mississippi, raised in Chicago, and 233 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 2: it was the exact opposite for me, you know. 234 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 4: And so. 235 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 2: When somebody would get in trouble in Chicago, they would 236 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: send him to their grandma. You know what I'm saying. Well, 237 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 2: we wanted to see a better life, we would move 238 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 2: up to Chicago, you know what I'm saying. Think about it, crazy, 239 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 2: think about it, y'all. 240 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: Had that sound first of Mississippi was looking at Chicago. 241 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 2: If you've seen Centers, that's what the whole story was about. 242 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 2: Don't tell him, Okay, y'all see it.

You're a version of it, you 334 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: know what. 335 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 6: I'm saying, And not just famous, and not just famous 336 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 6: if you were a pioneer, especially someone that worked on 337 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 6: the ground. 338 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 2: We know those foundation when it was hard to get 339 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 2: time to get off. 340 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,479 Speaker 1: Like I sincerely believe that this this is my therapy, 341 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like when I could give 342 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: a person a flowers and tell them listen, man, I 343 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: want to give it to you while you can smell them, 344 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: your thoughts, while you could think them your drinks, while 345 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: you could drink them. 346 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:42,719 Speaker 2: You know what I mean? 347 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: Because the thing with us, what we said is it's 348 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: never going to take away from us for us to 349 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: give people that just do you know what I mean? 350 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 1: And that's what that's what hip hop is missing. That's 351 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: what I think. This is a real special part of this. 352 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: But crookedly, that's just let's start with that, right Me 353 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: and you spoke about it earlier, but let's let the 354 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: fans in. We have very similar Like I came out 355 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: with the war report Corona nor Jega, then you guys 356 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: came out with that. How what's the difference between when 357 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: you when you're in the group and you when you're 358 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: solo artists. What's that difference, man, it's. 359 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 2: I'll just say this, man, it feels good when you 360 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 2: had your brothers around you. You know, I was always 361 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 2: the oldest brother, you know what I'm saying. 362 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 4: I was. 363 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 2: I was always a trailblazer, man. But this ship ain't easy. 364 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 2: People don't talk about the mental aspect of having to 365 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 2: go through this ship. They never talk about the street 366 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 2: ship we gotta go through. They never talk about the 367 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 2: social implications. They never talk about the police, you know 368 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 2: what I'm saying, especially what they was doing y'all during 369 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 2: that time, hip hop police. What the hip hop police 370 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 2: wasn't playing ship? Bro? I was with being ras Cascers 371 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 2: with John Forte one night Bro and got helped up 372 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 2: going to the Cheetah club. 373 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 3: Man. 374 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. But the difference between being in the group, man, 375 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 2: is that you know, you have somebody that you can 376 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 2: go through this ship with because a lot of things 377 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 2: we can't talk to people about. A lot of pressures 378 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 2: we can't talk to people about. You know, even from 379 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 2: a street perspective, bro, Men, you're talking about this North 380 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 2: something as small ass. Well, we from there ain't no 381 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 2: motherfucker all up on you, all close and shit back 382 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,479 Speaker 2: the fuck up. But you know, as you become famous 383 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 2: and ship, everybody want to run up the dope. People 384 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 2: don't make quick moves where I'm from, bro, like you 385 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 2: make a quick move where I'm from. You dead, you 386 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 2: feel me. So it's like even getting used to going 387 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 2: from being the hunter to being the hunted, Like I 388 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 2: wasn't used to that ship, right, And when you have 389 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 2: a brother with you, that's dope. But then you also 390 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 2: got to worry about if somebody else is late, you 391 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Or if somebody else gets sick, 392 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 2: or something happens with his daughter and he ain't able 393 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 2: to make it, or you know all of those different 394 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 2: types of things, or if somebody doesn't see your vision. 395 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 2: I used to get mad when people didn't see my vision, 396 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 2: but that means I'm actually closer to God. If you 397 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 2: can see what I see, then you not blessed. I'm 398 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 2: not blessed because it's general knowledge. I've always been a 399 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 2: man of vision, so I can't expect somebody else to 400 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,479 Speaker 2: see it. I can't expect somebody to jump on everything 401 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: that I decided to do. But if in history I 402 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,479 Speaker 2: consistently show motherfuckers that I know what I'm doing, then 403 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 2: I would think that people would have an internal fortitude 404 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 2: to say, it's something special about that negro. We might 405 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 2: need to follow him. So I just realized, you know, 406 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 2: when I'm by myself, and I think I was a 407 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 2: little bit different. You know, krit was a little bit different. 408 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: He Payn was a little bit different. Not only was 409 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 2: adult rapper, but I was also adult producer. So I 410 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 2: didn't have to wait on nobody. I didn't have to 411 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 2: wait on the producer if my producers start acting funny 412 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 2: even in my company. Did you engineer your own ship too? 413 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 2: For a while? Okay, while I have wanted a few 414 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 2: people that can I can go in the studio by 415 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 2: myself and do a whole about by myself. It may 416 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 2: not be great because I'm doing everything, but I get 417 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 2: the ship done. You know what I'm saying. 418 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: As a producer, Has there ever been a beat that 419 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: you gave away as a producer that you wanted to 420 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: keep as an artist? 421 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 6: Oh? 422 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 2: No, If I gave it away, I gave it away. 423 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 2: It was done, and I got to be honest, and 424 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 2: I want to say this in front of you. A 425 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 2: lot of beats, did I want you to? I did. 426 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 2: But there's two things I want to tell y'all about. 427 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 2: So I think to y'all as a rapper has one 428 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,239 Speaker 2: of the best ears as a producer. No, no, as 429 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 2: as as an artist period, like choosing beats. Like most 430 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 2: people who can rap at the level that he can 431 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 2: rap and usually don't pick beats. Well, I don't care 432 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: who you talk about a favorite rapper that usually the 433 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 2: beat is not usually jam. That's part of the problem. 434 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 2: And so what I would do with Tip was I 435 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 2: would go and play beats for till for him and 436 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 2: have him pick it off the beat and I didn't 437 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 2: even know it and it was funny. I just went 438 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 2: to him recently it was like, bro, I want you. 439 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 2: I want your ear on my next album. Bro, Like 440 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: I really want him because he has such vision and 441 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 2: so I don't know, something really special. But because I 442 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 2: give you an example, when we did Rubber Band, Man, 443 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 2: I'm a producer, I'm not a beat maker. Tip left 444 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 2: and came back with that record being the way that 445 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 2: it was so like the kids and all of that 446 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 2: kind of stuff that was him. He added to it, Yeah, 447 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 2: like he didn't add to the beat but the structure over. Yeah, 448 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 2: because I produced records. I don't just do I just 449 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 2: don't give a person the beat and they run off, 450 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 2: you know. And that actually came from Snoop. Snoop is 451 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 2: the person that turned me into a producer instead of 452 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 2: a beat maker. Blessed. I was producing Snoop and I 453 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 2: was just so happy to be producing Snoop. I didn't 454 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 2: say ship, and Snoop said, come in here, nephew. She 455 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 2: was like, you don't. He said, tell me what to do? 456 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 2: And I say, if if I can tell you what 457 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 2: to do, the rest of y'allbuckers can't tell me ship. 458 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 2: He got that from Drake. Tell the motherfuckers you can 459 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 2: do this. You can do the man. Fuck that Snoop say, 460 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 2: I'm ship. 461 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: But if you think about it, Snoop has kind of 462 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: always been produced. I mean yeah, so he probably even 463 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: if you didn't want to produce for him, he probably 464 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: had to. 465 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 2: Force you to do that, man. And so you know, 466 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 2: from that point, bro, I just realized, like, I give 467 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 2: y'all another story, and y'all gonna trip on this. And 468 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 2: it's crazy because Beyonce just use like a pill in 469 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 2: her tour. Man, y'all clapped for that ship take some im. 470 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 2: It was was crazy. I was talking to my mom 471 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 2: on the way coming over. I was like, Mom, would 472 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 2: you ere the thought like a pimp would have been 473 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 2: would be doing? 474 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: Because you had to tell your mom what. 475 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 5: You know? 476 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 2: She knew, she knew. I mean, regardless of what people 477 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 2: say Facebook is they hood. You know what I'm saying. 478 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 2: But it's like a pimp on top of us. But 479 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 2: the crazy thing is I didn't like like a pip. 480 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 2: I really didn't. I picked that beat because little Flip, 481 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 2: Little Flip was like what our bartered with you you 482 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 2: give me two beats, I give you a verse. And 483 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 2: so I gave him the two beats and I was like, well, 484 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 2: I sample pimp sees voice, that's Texas, Texas.

I just threw them beat real quick, 486 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 2: and I said, I'll go and change the beat later. 487 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 2: We made that song like twenty minutes brow In the 488 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 2: last the last verse, we went back and forth, just 489 00:25:54,640 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 2: like on some freestyle shit All and and broke. 490 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: It was. 491 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 2: It was this DJ in Atlanta named DJ Will.

Do I trust human beings. 777 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 2: I trust human beings to be human. I'll tell you 778 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,759 Speaker 2: all something, and this is serious. It's gonna shock a 779 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 2: lot of people. One of the things that helped my 780 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:39,240 Speaker 2: depression is I don't hate anymore. I don't hate anybody 781 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 2: on this planet anymore, other races of people who actually 782 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 2: may deserve hate because of the things that they have 783 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,280 Speaker 2: historically done. What I realized is that there's a finite 784 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 2: amount of energy in the universe, right, So there can't 785 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 2: be any more energy created. Right, So if I give 786 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 2: my energy to like thirty percent or let's say fifty 787 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 2: percent or that to hate, and it may be justified hate, 788 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 2: then you constrict the opportunity to have opulence, love, opportunity vision, Right. 789 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 2: So what I started understanding is that if you know 790 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 2: people have historically been a certain way, then why you 791 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:28,359 Speaker 2: keep going around the motherfucker? That's your fault. A lot 792 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,800 Speaker 2: of people got mad at me when I said, I 793 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 2: told big Boy this, this is the best time in 794 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,839 Speaker 2: history for black and brown people, and people say, huh, 795 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 2: I said, because these motherfuckers have shown you exactly who 796 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 2: they are. And if we don't take care of ourselves 797 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 2: with done. So now is the time in history for 798 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,799 Speaker 2: us to create our own shit, our own movies. It's 799 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:56,360 Speaker 2: time to let the fucking plantation go. And back in 800 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,319 Speaker 2: the day when I used to talk my shit, y'all 801 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 2: be honest, most motherfuckers thought I was crazy.

And now that all this crazy shit is 804 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,719 Speaker 2: having it now, people are looking for solutions for the 805 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 2: motherfuckers who were crazy.

You know what I'm gonna be honest with you. 819 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: I know you for for a long long time, right, 820 00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:00,399 Speaker 1: and it always seemed like you got smarter with your section, 821 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,919 Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, Like it always felt 822 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,719 Speaker 1: like but it didn't feel like at one point you 823 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 1: didn't trust the industry, particularly the industry. And that's why 824 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,640 Speaker 1: I labeled a human right now, because that has to 825 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,840 Speaker 1: come from has to come from somewhere, right, Like. 826 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 2: Hip hop hurt my feelings. You're the culture. 827 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 1: Think about that all day, but please explain that to 828 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 1: the people who can't understand him. 829 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,040 Speaker 2: Hip hop hurt my feelings. That's deep, that's deep. Well, 830 00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,239 Speaker 2: most people don't know about me, bro. I was a 831 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 2: battle rapper, Like I was a battle rapper. I was 832 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:39,359 Speaker 2: a backpacker but living the life that I talked about 833 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 2: later on, you know what I'm saying. And I had 834 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,279 Speaker 2: this love for hip hop and on every one of 835 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 2: my every one of my albums, I would always and 836 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 2: people never noticed this. I would always have a battle 837 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,320 Speaker 2: rap or a hip hop song or something giving homage 838 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 2: back to like I always heard it. You know, we 839 00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:01,480 Speaker 2: didn't know, you know what I'm saying. And I always 840 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 2: lived by the rules, but hip hop really didn't give 841 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,279 Speaker 2: a fuck about me and really give a fuck about Mississippi? 842 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,719 Speaker 2: When did hip hop hurt you're feeling? And when I 843 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 2: realized that this ship is imperialism. It's a business. 844 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:18,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's imperial and it ain't personal though, person it 845 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 1: ain't personal. That's deep in itself. Hold on, hold on 846 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,280 Speaker 1: because that's the two point question that you just answered 847 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,840 Speaker 1: that to to. Because one, that's exactly what it is. 848 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:32,759 Speaker 1: It's like, Yo, this is a business. This is called 849 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:34,400 Speaker 1: hip hop business called you know. 850 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,440 Speaker 6: Well, there's a difference between the business side of it 851 00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,920 Speaker 6: and the culture site. You couldn't make the distinction. There 852 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 6: is a distinction, Okay, I want to the monetizing of 853 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 6: the music. 854 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,759 Speaker 1: I want to think that Kobe and us entered this 855 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,840 Speaker 1: for the love at first, but once we realized if 856 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,560 Speaker 1: it's business, we didn't want to get jokes better just 857 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,319 Speaker 1: being to make money out of what you look then, 858 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,239 Speaker 1: like he said, that's the other part of that, it's 859 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 1: not personal. 860 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 2: But the problem is is that I think what happened 861 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,919 Speaker 2: to hip hop in general or anything when it comes 862 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 2: to people a culture, we do it by feelings because 863 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:07,120 Speaker 2: we're spiritual people. We never laid down the rules like 864 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 2: I give you a great example, everybody want to talk 865 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 2: about who's the goat? Who's the goat? How can you 866 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,279 Speaker 2: have a fucking goat when ain't no rules. If we're 867 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,640 Speaker 2: gonna say somebody is the go to basketball, then let's 868 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 2: sit down at a table and say, Okay, how many 869 00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,000 Speaker 2: championships you have to have? How much influence do you 870 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 2: have on the culture, all of these different things. We 871 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 2: have to have some rules because because if not, then 872 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 2: it's emotional. And if it's emotional, then you could be 873 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 2: constipated more generational or generation because if you notice when 874 00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 2: people talk about their ghats, they're really emotional about who 875 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,919 Speaker 2: they like when they were growing up. I stopped that shit. 876 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 1: You know, my son, I can't speak about Lebron at all, 877 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 1: like he takes a super personal like and I'm just like, 878 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,319 Speaker 1: I just I don't do it no more. 879 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 2: And then for a person to not really talk about 880 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,880 Speaker 2: some of our greats who got ten rings, you know, 881 00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 2: eight nine, ten rings, you know, and you know, for 882 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,279 Speaker 2: us to to to talk about the goats and hip 883 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 2: hop and nobody say rock him, no, no, oh, nobody 884 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:15,319 Speaker 2: nobody says scarface, like are you serious? Face? Come on, dude, 885 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 2: you know, so I think part of the problem is 886 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 2: is we have allowed other people, through their money, to 887 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 2: have a say so on hip hop. You know one 888 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,719 Speaker 2: thing that I just finished speaking the AD week, and 889 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 2: what I told them is I wish hip hop was 890 00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,680 Speaker 2: the way that it used to be. Is you give 891 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 2: me your fucking money, you shit the fuck down, I'm 892 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 2: gonna make you a profit. Let me do what the 893 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,560 Speaker 2: fuck I do. We have We have allowed white people 894 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,560 Speaker 2: to become too comfortable in our culture. And this is 895 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:46,480 Speaker 2: something I mean, I guess that's the reason why y'all 896 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 2: call it drinks. Because I'm gonna say something. I'm gonna 897 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 2: say something that's really really One of the reasons why 898 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:56,200 Speaker 2: I stopped producing is because there was a young white 899 00:47:56,280 --> 00:48:01,400 Speaker 2: A and R at one of these and I had 900 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,239 Speaker 2: already produced two number one hits for this label, right, 901 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:09,800 Speaker 2: and this white boy felt comfortable to comment about Southern 902 00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,719 Speaker 2: rap music to me. Now, I probably would have took 903 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:19,080 Speaker 2: his notes on R and B. Maybe maybe, hey, community, 904 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 2: maybe maybe his motherfucker felt called your day that you 905 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,600 Speaker 2: need to motherfucker, you better shut your motherfucking mouth and 906 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 2: take these fucking credits. You don't know nothing about the shit, 907 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,640 Speaker 2: because because I may not have created. But I have 908 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 2: something to do with this shit, you know what I'm saying. 909 00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:39,360 Speaker 2: And the motherfucker's feeling titled. And it's because we allow 910 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,839 Speaker 2: people and you got too many negroes who will take 911 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 2: the check and allow their black or brown skin to 912 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:50,920 Speaker 2: be used to use to manipulate other black and brown people. 913 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:55,200 Speaker 2: And I think that shit is white dog. People use culture, 914 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,239 Speaker 2: People use culture when it's most convenient to them, and 915 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:00,520 Speaker 2: I don't like that ship though. 916 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to do quick Time, Stan, let's do 917 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,839 Speaker 1: it cool.

Done something else that happened to me. 1467 01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:21,720 Speaker 2: One time I was jogging past Tap Projects I used 1468 01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:23,519 Speaker 2: to stay in Harlem. People didn't know I stayed in 1469 01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:26,080 Speaker 2: Harlem for six years. Right down the street from Tap Projects, 1470 01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:28,559 Speaker 2: dude said the same thing, we know you in the hood, 1471 01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:32,640 Speaker 2: but you're good.

And I don't know whether it 1477 01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:54,720 Speaker 2: was because of what I stand for. I know that 1478 01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:56,760 Speaker 2: it had something to do with God, and that was 1479 01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:59,000 Speaker 2: the reason why I say, sometimes God blesses you with 1480 01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:02,120 Speaker 2: protection instead of all the things that you think you 1481 01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:06,080 Speaker 2: need and you want. Bro Man, LA loved on me 1482 01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:09,200 Speaker 2: so fucking much.

With Gotty and all of them, 1491 01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:41,320 Speaker 2: Goby took me over there, and that's a certain amount 1492 01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:43,479 Speaker 2: of there's a certain amount of culture that's on my 1493 01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:47,320 Speaker 2: back that's way bigger than what I knew. I didn't 1494 01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:50,160 Speaker 2: even know the responsibility that he put on my back. 1495 01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:54,240 Speaker 2: And so La has a place in my heart.

I was independent fifteen years before people 1715 01:36:53,680 --> 01:36:56,240 Speaker 2: ever knew I was independent. And one of the reasons 1716 01:36:56,280 --> 01:36:58,479 Speaker 2: why I do have respect for Steve is I went 1717 01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:01,519 Speaker 2: to Steve one day and told Steve Eve, like, bro, 1718 01:37:01,600 --> 01:37:04,240 Speaker 2: I want to be you.

And so 1721 01:37:10,960 --> 01:37:14,920 Speaker 2: what I did was was when I remember one time 1722 01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:18,519 Speaker 2: I had four videos on MTV.

I just kept putting Universal 1726 01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:37,160 Speaker 2: on the sheet and they kept and I kept getting 1727 01:37:37,560 --> 01:37:39,400 Speaker 2: for like ten years.

And 1730 01:37:45,960 --> 01:37:48,120 Speaker 2: Universal wasn't tripping because they were getting the props for 1731 01:37:48,240 --> 01:37:50,720 Speaker 2: David Back was signing other artists because they were like, 1732 01:37:50,760 --> 01:37:53,200 Speaker 2: well yeah, And so I kept putting that on the 1733 01:37:53,280 --> 01:38:02,280 Speaker 2: call sheeting and people kept, yeah, that's fine, that's what man. 1734 01:38:02,760 --> 01:38:08,160 Speaker 1: I asked you this earlier. If you had to pick 1735 01:38:08,280 --> 01:38:17,240 Speaker 1: one profession from the beginning, acting, producing or being an 1736 01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:19,840 Speaker 1: artist from what you know now. If you can start 1737 01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:23,320 Speaker 1: from the beginning with all the information that you know now, 1738 01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:27,400 Speaker 1: and and and God says you're going to pick one, 1739 01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:29,120 Speaker 1: what would you pick. 1740 01:38:29,439 --> 01:38:32,639 Speaker 2: Let's take a drink, because God didn't say that that's 1741 01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:37,960 Speaker 2: the Let me tell you all this. It used to 1742 01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:39,640 Speaker 2: be a curse to me that I could do so 1743 01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:42,880 Speaker 2: much stuff because think about this, be honest, when I 1744 01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:46,000 Speaker 2: was close to being one of the top Southern rappers, right, 1745 01:38:46,760 --> 01:38:50,040 Speaker 2: I'll go and produce.

Then the 1749 01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:07,320 Speaker 2: pandemic happened, and you got to think what rappers went through. 1750 01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:10,240 Speaker 2: I didn't have to go through that because I could 1751 01:39:10,240 --> 01:39:13,040 Speaker 2: go speak, I could go do movies, so like, I 1752 01:39:13,240 --> 01:39:15,640 Speaker 2: never really had to be into what other rappers been 1753 01:39:16,080 --> 01:39:18,960 Speaker 2: had to been to because I was getting money from 1754 01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:22,920 Speaker 2: so many different places. But the problem was I never 1755 01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:26,280 Speaker 2: became a I never became respected as a genius on 1756 01:39:26,439 --> 01:39:28,880 Speaker 2: any level, because every time I would get close to 1757 01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:30,679 Speaker 2: the top, I would shift something else. 1758 01:39:31,040 --> 01:39:31,160 Speaker 1: Right. 1759 01:39:32,120 --> 01:39:38,040 Speaker 2: So now I just talked to AD Week this week 1760 01:39:38,160 --> 01:39:39,840 Speaker 2: in Miami, and that was one of the things that 1761 01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:44,240 Speaker 2: I talked about, is like when it comes to corporations 1762 01:39:44,280 --> 01:39:45,880 Speaker 2: and when I do the things that I do because 1763 01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:46,840 Speaker 2: a lot of people don't even know. 1764 01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:47,120 Speaker 6: This, Bro. 1765 01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:50,920 Speaker 2: I produced the second biggest Gatorade commercial in history ever, Bro, 1766 01:39:52,240 --> 01:39:54,280 Speaker 2: And it was funny. This really happened in real life. 1767 01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:56,920 Speaker 2: Jimmy Smith, who was working at Shia Day at the time, 1768 01:39:59,320 --> 01:40:02,320 Speaker 2: the heads of Pepsicle was in the room.

And I never have produced 1775 01:40:21,640 --> 01:40:24,080 Speaker 2: a commercial in my fucking life.

Let's imagine if we really you said, like 2175 02:01:13,160 --> 02:01:14,520 Speaker 1: a movement, this is what you said, This is the 2176 02:01:14,520 --> 02:01:17,120 Speaker 1: reason why I'm gonna stick to this. If we got 2177 02:01:17,200 --> 02:01:20,120 Speaker 1: together and really said, you're listen, We're gonna have Ray 2178 02:01:20,240 --> 02:01:24,680 Speaker 1: Kualm one for Dallas.

Let me even put 2186 02:01:50,760 --> 02:01:53,400 Speaker 2: a twist to it. Yes, we are the only people 2187 02:01:53,480 --> 02:01:56,320 Speaker 2: that put our generals on the front line. Like, no, 2188 02:01:56,480 --> 02:01:58,160 Speaker 2: you don't put your generals on the front line. Why 2189 02:01:58,160 --> 02:02:00,840 Speaker 2: you're gonna put Dave Chappelle. Da Chapelle is money that 2190 02:02:00,960 --> 02:02:05,520 Speaker 2: Japelle is our bank. What we do is we take Okay, 2191 02:02:07,560 --> 02:02:10,000 Speaker 2: that's what you choose, that you choose, But what I'm 2192 02:02:10,040 --> 02:02:12,720 Speaker 2: saying is, instead of you taking Dave Chapelle, you let 2193 02:02:12,800 --> 02:02:15,600 Speaker 2: Dave Chappelle be the brain trust that he is in 2194 02:02:15,760 --> 02:02:20,200 Speaker 2: the financier that he is, and we find a young motherfucker. 2195 02:02:20,440 --> 02:02:23,040 Speaker 2: So that's like instead of if let's let's say, like 2196 02:02:23,080 --> 02:02:24,600 Speaker 2: I'm not just saying this, but like let's just say, 2197 02:02:24,680 --> 02:02:28,560 Speaker 2: if krit was interested in it, okay, then why not 2198 02:02:28,680 --> 02:02:33,520 Speaker 2: me take my money, my influence, me move on this level, 2199 02:02:33,600 --> 02:02:37,120 Speaker 2: put my money into somebody like that or one of 2200 02:02:37,200 --> 02:02:39,240 Speaker 2: the problems that we have in the black and brown 2201 02:02:39,320 --> 02:02:43,120 Speaker 2: community is that we want to be entertained. If it's 2202 02:02:43,160 --> 02:02:46,880 Speaker 2: about politics, then find somebody that's good at politics. 2203 02:02:47,080 --> 02:02:49,160 Speaker 1: Right now, this president is entertaining. 2204 02:02:51,000 --> 02:02:54,680 Speaker 2: America. So you're you're you're proving my point the reality 2205 02:02:55,200 --> 02:02:58,600 Speaker 2: to watch this, to watch this, if we have been 2206 02:02:58,720 --> 02:03:03,160 Speaker 2: socially engineered in America to be in the positions that 2207 02:03:03,280 --> 02:03:05,960 Speaker 2: were in, why would we go hire a rapper? Go 2208 02:03:06,160 --> 02:03:09,880 Speaker 2: find a fucking engineer. That's why we never have sustainable 2209 02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:14,240 Speaker 2: movements because we want pretty entertaining. Malcolm X said it, 2210 02:03:14,560 --> 02:03:17,520 Speaker 2: and I don't want rappers on fucking CNN speaking for me, 2211 02:03:17,760 --> 02:03:23,080 Speaker 2: Go rap, nigga. I want someone who can articulate real, solid, 2212 02:03:23,440 --> 02:03:27,280 Speaker 2: fucking plans. I wanted the smartest motherfuckers in hip hop period. 2213 02:03:27,560 --> 02:03:29,920 Speaker 2: I'm the fuck wouldn't nobody say, But I don't even 2214 02:03:29,960 --> 02:03:33,680 Speaker 2: think I'm worthy to speak on behalf of the plight 2215 02:03:33,760 --> 02:03:36,880 Speaker 2: of black people. Bro. I do it because I know 2216 02:03:36,960 --> 02:03:38,920 Speaker 2: a lot of these other motherfuckers don't give a fuck. 2217 02:03:39,520 --> 02:03:42,160 Speaker 2: But the reason why we don't get forward is because 2218 02:03:42,200 --> 02:03:45,840 Speaker 2: we don't have real sustainable plans. One of the things 2219 02:03:45,880 --> 02:03:48,040 Speaker 2: that pissed me off so bad that we did. And 2220 02:03:48,120 --> 02:03:50,320 Speaker 2: one of the mistakes that we made is when ice 2221 02:03:50,440 --> 02:03:58,240 Speaker 2: Cube stepped up and literally create a plan for politics 2222 02:03:58,960 --> 02:04:02,560 Speaker 2: and he said, I'm going to talk to Trump. Motherfuckers 2223 02:04:02,640 --> 02:04:07,160 Speaker 2: got mad. We always say we're playing chess, not checkers, 2224 02:04:07,360 --> 02:04:10,560 Speaker 2: and you're not gonna let the man play chess. You 2225 02:04:10,840 --> 02:04:14,320 Speaker 2: talk to everybody. What people don't know is some of 2226 02:04:14,400 --> 02:04:17,360 Speaker 2: our greatest leaders in the world set down at the 2227 02:04:17,440 --> 02:04:20,920 Speaker 2: table and talk to the Klan. If you don't want 2228 02:04:21,000 --> 02:04:23,920 Speaker 2: me in America and you're gonna put up two million 2229 02:04:23,960 --> 02:04:25,920 Speaker 2: dollars for me to get the fuck out, and I 2230 02:04:26,000 --> 02:04:28,120 Speaker 2: don't want to be here, and why can't we sit 2231 02:04:28,200 --> 02:04:31,040 Speaker 2: at the table and talk. We talked to the white 2232 02:04:31,080 --> 02:04:35,760 Speaker 2: motherfuckers as rappers who we knew were accountants, who we 2233 02:04:35,840 --> 02:04:38,080 Speaker 2: knew that was lawyers, and didn't give a fuck about 2234 02:04:38,120 --> 02:04:40,600 Speaker 2: the hood. And we sat down and found a medium. 2235 02:04:40,680 --> 02:04:44,200 Speaker 2: And that's how we created record companies. Why we can't 2236 02:04:44,280 --> 02:04:47,400 Speaker 2: sit down, sit down from a political standpoint and really 2237 02:04:47,480 --> 02:04:51,920 Speaker 2: have sustainable plans. Motherfuckers want to be emotional. They don't 2238 02:04:52,080 --> 02:04:55,760 Speaker 2: really want a movement. I honestly think that most people 2239 02:04:55,880 --> 02:04:59,080 Speaker 2: are scared of freedom, real freedom, like they are scared 2240 02:04:59,120 --> 02:05:05,240 Speaker 2: of death. Actually, all death may be better. Oh wait, wait, wait, wait, 2241 02:05:05,320 --> 02:05:07,760 Speaker 2: wait wait, hold on, you don't know what the fuck 2242 02:05:07,880 --> 02:05:10,560 Speaker 2: death is because you ain't died. Shit, you just don't 2243 02:05:10,560 --> 02:05:12,080 Speaker 2: want to take the chance to see and what's on 2244 02:05:12,120 --> 02:05:16,040 Speaker 2: the other side. But death might be better you don't know. 2245 02:05:20,760 --> 02:05:23,400 Speaker 2: That is the reason why I created a banner vision. 2246 02:05:23,920 --> 02:05:26,800 Speaker 2: That's the reason why I'm gonna do science based movies 2247 02:05:26,880 --> 02:05:30,640 Speaker 2: in Sciphi, because they constantly are preparing us for a 2248 02:05:30,800 --> 02:05:36,160 Speaker 2: future without us. So what I'm telling you is is 2249 02:05:36,240 --> 02:05:39,560 Speaker 2: that if we really want to talk politics, most black 2250 02:05:39,640 --> 02:05:43,440 Speaker 2: people don't even know what they really want. When you 2251 02:05:43,520 --> 02:05:47,080 Speaker 2: talk to any other subsection in this country, they can 2252 02:05:47,120 --> 02:05:50,440 Speaker 2: tell you exactly what they're fighting for. If you ask 2253 02:05:50,600 --> 02:05:52,520 Speaker 2: ten of our people, what do you really want out 2254 02:05:52,560 --> 02:05:56,560 Speaker 2: of politics? They don't know. And until we start paying, 2255 02:05:58,000 --> 02:06:02,160 Speaker 2: politics is a pay game. Until we start paying and 2256 02:06:02,240 --> 02:06:05,520 Speaker 2: then knowing what the fuck we want? Without vision, what 2257 02:06:05,640 --> 02:06:11,960 Speaker 2: do our people do? They perish my opinion? Wire? Hold on, 2258 02:06:12,000 --> 02:06:16,840 Speaker 2: I gotta take my periods. Ain't got a clerks. I 2259 02:06:16,960 --> 02:06:18,480 Speaker 2: know who I am? Lord? Yes? 2260 02:06:20,840 --> 02:06:27,480 Speaker 1: Moving forward? Uh huh? Do you think that hip hop 2261 02:06:27,560 --> 02:06:28,520 Speaker 1: still needs a union? 2262 02:06:32,080 --> 02:06:36,480 Speaker 2: No? I let that sit there. For a minute, just 2263 02:06:36,800 --> 02:06:41,000 Speaker 2: for ratings, because we already gave you pop away. I 2264 02:06:41,120 --> 02:06:43,120 Speaker 2: told y'all a long time ago, to streaming was the 2265 02:06:43,200 --> 02:06:46,320 Speaker 2: dumbest shit that we ever did in history.
